Tapestry Weaving at Roxbury Library June 25

ROXBURY — Tabitha Gilmore-Barnes, owner and artist of the Tabitha Gilmore-Barnes Studio, will be at the Roxbury Library on Wednesday, June 25, from 10:00am to 12:00pm.  Please join us for this free program!  

Tabitha will demonstrate tapestry weaving as well as showing some of her work.  Her tapestries fall into two series:  “Bring Home the Colors of the Catskills”, inspired by the open skies, seasonal colors, and local steams;  and “ Fall from Grace-Fall Into Grace,” with Scripture words and images. 

 Tabitha handles her own dyeing (with Jacquard Acid Dyes) and her own spinning using locally accessed Shetland wools. 

 In the mid-1970’s, Tabitha attended SUNY Fashion Institute of Technology in the Textile and Surface Design Program.  She also took a tapestry workshop in the 1990s at Ruth Scheuer’s Tapestry Center in New York City, and completed her BS Art Education at SUNY New Paltz in 1995.  Upon joining the American Tapestry Alliance in 2017, Tabitha expanded her tapestry weaving skills through ATA’s Mentor Program with Margaret Jones, as well as with online- classes with Rebecca Mezoff and other ATA weavers. 

 Tabitha is a member of the AMR Artists, Inc. and participates in their Open Studio Tours annually.  In 2025, this Tour will be July 25-27.  Other memberships include American Tapestry Alliance, Catskilled Crafters, and the East Branch Delaware River Plein Air Painters.
